Author Letrise believes states “what is done in the dark will
purge with vengeance and jealous to the light.

Meet Devin. He’s handsome, successful and has a beautiful
wife, who is equally accomplished. Devin’s lifestyle is one any man would dream
of but he’s not content. He has an appetite for women that his wife alone
cannot curb. But soon, his playboy antics has him buried deep in a blackmail
scandal and the only person who can fix it, is the one person who can destroy
his life. Taylor couldn’t ask for anything more. She has a wonderful life. From
the outside, all seems perfect but Taylor is harboring a secret that could end
her marriage… and his name is Kelly.

Letrise has always loved writing from middle school through
adulthood. Writing was always her passion and a way for her to escape into her
imagination. Her creative thinking makes her storytelling seem real. Letrise
graduated from Lakeland College with a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting and then
completed her Master's degree in Accounting and Financial Management. Becoming
a mother shifted her dreams of writing and broadcasting to being deferred
dreams. Having worked in corporate America, it would be the "empty nest”
feeling that she would rediscover her gifts, passion, and love for storytelling
by launching her first Blog titled Sistah's Place2 and then Sistah's Place
Entertainment where she would grow that platform showcasing indie artists in
film, theater, literary, and television. Blogging helped ignite her passion for
writing and storytelling, but most important her gifts to inspire, entertain,
encourage, and have an impact on others through her writing. She is currently writing the next book in the
series, growing her business, and an aspiring screen writer. Letrise resides in
suburbs outside of Chicago, IL with her beautiful daughter Simone.

Sitting there with the pieces of your life around you, there
seemed to be a pattern. There was faith, love, deceit, lust, and loss—in that
order. You didn’t think you were deserving of love. That is why everything was
being taken from you, and you were ready to give up on life. Through your
poetry, faith, and learning from your past, you can rewrite the story. It was
after coming through all the experiences and being stronger, you realized there
is always a new chapter. The book will take you on the journey of a young girl
growing up in Connecticut, who had to take some stumbles along the way to come
into her own and realize instead of tearing herself down for the decisions she
made, there is a lesson. Love is greater than anyone can imagine and can warm you
like the sunshine after the rain. You went from the beginning, the journey, the
test, and the testimony to say, “There Is Sunshine after the Rain.”

Hello! This is one of my tour stops during my one month book tour for Ex-Ray by Cheryl Robinson. This virtual book tour is organized by Write Now Literary Book Tours. This tour runs January 26-February 26, 2018. Follow the tour here. Book your own tour here WNL.

About The Author

Cheryl Robinson has the Until Ray trilogy set in her beloved hometown of Detroit, Michigan. Cheryl currently resides in Central Florida. She has a Bachelor of Science degree from Wayne State University. This is her eleventh book.

About The Book

ISBN-10: 098471104X

ISBN-13: 978-0984711048

ASIN: B0778P6N72

Genre: Contemporary Fiction

In this journey into second-chance love, author Cheryl Robinson invites us to ponder whether we would rekindle a romance with someone who had broken a promise to forsake all others.

Meet Ray and Sarita Saint. In 1987, they pledged to love, honor, and cherish each other until death. When Ray goes missing a year later, Sarita wonders whether he’s dead or alive. While she was dreaming of their happily ever after, Ray was exploring greener pastures, a new relationship. Sarita—a virgin until marriage—took her vows seriously and believed Ray did, too. Instead, he left their marriage and their life in Detroit to reinvent himself. Sarita always held out hope that he would return one day. And he does. It’s twenty-seven years later, and Ray is determined to find his one true love. What he discovers has him question everything he thought he knew about Sarita, as well as himself.

Tell us about your writing process. Do you outline, or are you more of a seat-of-your-pants type of writer?

I use Scrivener to keep track of things, especially characters and timelines, but I don’t outline. I also use several journals for the times when I’m tired of sitting in front of a computer screen and would rather write a chapter freehand.

What is the highest goal that you desire to meet as an author?

I’d love to see one of my books come to life. Allow me to be more specific. I’d love to see this trilogy on the big screen because I want to meet Boone in person, I want to meet Ray, and Sarita, Miss King—everyone.

How do you spend your free time?

I have a book coming out in June and another one coming out in January, so I spend my free time writing, and my favorite place to go and unwind is in my office to write. I have so many books that I want to read that I can’t get to right now, and now I’ve started on an audiobook kick just to get around to some of them.

What do you have in store next for readers?

The third book in the trilogy will be released in June, and then a standalone novel that features one of the characters from the trilogy will be released in January.
